SEAFOWL SHOOTING SKETCHES. 97 



" The Diary of Colonel Peter Hawker," with an introduction 

 by Sir Ralph Payne-Gallwey. Longman's, 1893. Two volumes. 

 Few people would suspect that the Colonel was almost as great 

 an authority on music as shooting. He was a strong man physic- 

 ally and intellectually, and a great enthusiast. 



" The Birds of Lancashire," by F. S. Mitchell, second edition. 

 Revised and annotated by Howard Saunders, with additions by 

 R. J. Howard and other local authorities. Illustrated by G. E. 

 Lodge, Victor Prout, &c. Gurney and Jackson, 1892. 



" Remarks on Shooting," by W. Watt, 1835. A small humorous 

 rhymning book on the subject. 



" The Art of Wildfowling," by Abel Chapman. " Field " Office, 

 IDS. 6d. Well illustrated, but the folding plates are objectionable. 

 The two pictures, " Geese Beyond the Power of Man " and " Cur- 

 lews in the Gloaming," are very good. 



" The Wildfowler in Scotland," by John G. Millais. Long- 

 man's, 1901. This large and expensive work is the best illus- 

 trated wildfowl book I have seen. The literary part is also very 

 interesting. 



I have also possessed scores of shooting books besides the 

 above, and there are several which I hope to obtain.
